Dédougou is the capital of the region of Boucle du Mouhoun in western Burkina Faso, about 245 kilometers west of the capital, Ouagadougou, and is the regional economic and transportation hub of the country. The city is situated in a savannah climate zone with distinct wet and dry seasons. Agriculture is the mainstay of the local industry, with cotton, peanuts, millet and maize being the main crops grown, and animal husbandry also plays an important role. As the administrative center of the region of Boucle du Mouhoun, Dadra has excellent infrastructure and public services, including hospitals, markets and schools, and is surrounded by the famous Arly National Park, which attracts eco-tourism enthusiasts. With a predominantly Gurma and Bobo population and a rich culture of traditional crafts and folklore, it is one of the windows to experience western Burkina Faso.
